Joshitai |
Aizu stands to fall on the losing side of the Boshin war |
The tragic end of samurai |
Bring forth the steel |
We shall defend and protect with honour fierce |
For this is the end |
Mother and sister standing by my side |
My naginata ready to cleave |
Jōshitai, we fight and die |
Over capture, slavery, and rape |
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
Don’t be taken alive |
Yūko, decapitate me |
Bury my head, hidden deep |
The gates of Wakamatsu Castle close |
Shielding the occupants inside |
They tremble in fear of the Imperials |
A suicide mission is what they said |
We attack near the Bridge of Tears |
Head on and without fear |
Fighting like a demon possessed |
But even demons can’t fight forever |
Jōshitai, we fight and die |
Over capture, slavery, and rape |
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
Don’t be taken alive |
Yūko, decapitate me |
Bury my head, hidden deep |
I’m hit, a bullet fatal |
Death approaching so quickly |
Jōshitai, we fight and die |
Over capture, slavery, and rape |
Jōshitai, we choose to fight and die |
Do not be taken alive |
Yūko, you beheaded me |
Hid my head, buried deep |
